Every day comes new, bright, and blue,
And every day, I forget a little more about you,
Every day I wonder where time has gone,
Then I think, it’s been there all along,
Every day I grow just a little bit stronger,
And every day my voice rises a little bit louder,
You thought you’d break m...

The day you disappeared, was the day I died.
A lifetime with you was suddenly meaningless.
Walking in a daze, unaware of my surroundings
Tears falling like rain.
I don’t recall when I blacked out.
The pain was too much to bear.
And yet, the next day, I was startled awake.

Instead of watching fireworks detonate or devouring hot dogs, my feet hit the ground to a place foreign to me. I strain to see through my eyes since the brightness from the sun blinds me to no end. My hands fly fast to my neck, the dehydration, is gnawing at my throat.

Sick of hearing criticism,
Reverberating in my head are excruciating verses,
Never speaking back, but secretly wishing I could fly away,
Fly far away into some distant time,
Crawled up against the wall, Holding on to my sanity,

Or I should say you did,
You began acting strange,
You never meant what you said,
What went wrong?
We had been together for so long,
I became less important to you,
That much is clear a...

A shattered heart being ripped apart,
Promised eyes filled with hope that once locked on mine are now lost in time,

Young and naïve, we assumed forever meant forever,
